Organised by the NCD Alliance and Vital Strategies on the sidelines of WHA76, this event will convene governments and global thought leaders to discuss what the expansion of the NCD ‘best buys’ and their investment case means for national NCD prevention and control, and why it is important that these menu of policy options is regularly updated, together with the provision of guidance on how to best prioritise these measures. Despite knowing what works and how cost-effective these measures are, many of these interventions are not prioritised and implemented as per WHO’s recommendations, and most countries are off track to achieving by 2030 the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 3.4 to reduce premature NCD mortality by a third. This conversation is also crucial in the year of the second UN High-Level Meeting (HLM) on Universal Health Coverage (UHC), as the progressive realisation of UHC requires the inclusion of essential NCD prevention and care services, by drawing on the guidance contained in Appendix 3, as highlighted by NCD Alliance’s Advocacy Priorities for the 2023 UN HLM on UHC.
